Cisco takes inspiration from Iron Man for its AI-driven platform engineer

“We deliberately named it after Iron Man’s AI assistant because we wanted that level of capability – an intelligent system that understands context, can access different tools and knowledge bases, and most importantly, works alongside engineers rather than just responding to commands,” Kalpage said.

This Hisense 85-inch TV is still over ,100 off on Amazon – and I highly recommend it

Hisense/ZDNET The TV launch season is here, and while the latest sets from Samsung, LG, and Sony will surely bring the appeal (and premium price tag), consider this Hisense model if you want both an immersively large screen and affordability. Following Amazon’s Spring Sale event, you can still save up to $1,100 on the brand’s flagship U8 series TV.  Also: I tested TCL’s affordable Mini LED TV, and it made me forget about the OLED flagships…

I tested a subscription-free video doorbell that rivals Ring – and it's better in some ways

ZDNET’s key takeaways The Eufy Security Video Doorbell E340 is normally available for $180 but is currently on sale.

The plan to decentralize TikTok

The plan to decentralize TikTok

Beata Zawrzel/NurPhoto via Getty Images The fight over the future of TikTok’s US operations has been a rollercoaster, to say the least. In January, the Supreme Court upheld the decision to ban the app in the US because its Chinese owner, ByteDance, had failed to sell it to a US-based company. However, President Trump granted the company a 75-day extension to find a buyer.  Now days away from the new deadline of April 5, the popular short-video…

I switched to a high-end dumbphone for a week, and it put E Ink (and my iPhone) to shame

ZDNET’s key takeaways The Light Phone 3 is available now with support from many major carriers for $599. It’s setting a new standard for simplified phones by combining a sleek, minimal product with a focused purpose. I wish the battery lasted longer, there are still some features in development, and it’s not exactly cheap. Much attention has been paid to the idea of a “dumbphone.” We’ve all had the thought: how liberating it would be…

Help! I clicked on a phishing link – now what?

ZDNET When you think of phishing emails, you probably think of the crude, grammatically flawed, easy-to-spot samples that go straight to your junk folder.

Also: These phishing attacks are targeting Mac browsers – how to protect yourself With the help of generative AI, online scammers have become dramatically better at crafting and…

Why no small business is too small for hackers – and 8 security best practices for SMBs

Why no small business is too small for hackers – and 8 security best practices for SMBs

PM Images/Getty Images I have given hundreds of cybersecurity-related webcasts and presentations, written hundreds of cybersecurity-related articles, and been involved in hundreds of one-on-one cybersecurity-related meetings with clients. Someone will always respond, comment, or protest that their business is too small for a hacker’s attention. Small target illusion But none of these folks understand the economics of a hack when it comes to small businesses. There isn’t a random guy out there who’s decided to…
